Mariah Carey has a plan in mind to welcome more children into her family without having to actually go through a pregnancy again. Toss reasonable thoughts of adoption aside for a moment, and consider that it’s Nick Cannon‘s turn to get knocked up.

The mother of 2-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe opened up about her own struggles with a difficult pregnancy during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, sharing, “I had pre-eclampsia, I had gestational diabetes. [It was] a really difficult pregnancy and I was alone most of the time…we love Nick, but he was working! He’s the hardest working man in show business.”

When asked about if they’ll have more children, Mariah Carey quipped, “If Nick could have the babies himself, then maybe…bring ’em on. We love kids!”

Jokes aside (was she really joking, though?), the songstress added sweetly, “Nick and I have a boy and a girl, I couldn’t ask for better.”

It’s sort of too bad men can’t carry children, especially in a case like Mariah’s where pregnancy was exceptionally difficult. My own husband had a healthy level of respect for what my body was able to do while carrying our boys (as well as was a little freaked out by the immense amount of change that took place in just a few months) but never had any desire to trade places with me.

If it were somehow magically possible though, I think I would have wanted him to carry one of our kids. It’d be fascinating to get to be in the partner role instead of being the preggo!

Have you seen a man who has got the flu? We are talking about real strong men, big biceps, well sculpted abs or dads who earn hefty amounts, support their families, respected in the community, corporate geniuses or something similar. But a simple flu and it’s like the world is ending. Do you really think they can survive pregnancy?

Note: This is a fun post spoofing a popular series on one of my favorite technology blogs. The boy scouts have a motto “always be prepared.” My son doesn’t know that because he is 3.
